She sniffed and said, "You, the majestic crown prince of a country, are you acting like a scoundrel when you touch me?"
Yuan Chen coughed lightly and said, "I... just... couldn't help it. Who makes you so cute that people can't help but want to bully you?"
Xiao Jialan said angrily: "That won't work either."
Yuan Chen smiled and said: "Then tell me, do you like me? If you don't tell me, I will still bully you."
Xiao Jialan's eyes widened, obviously shocked by Yuan Chen's words.
Isn't this man too shameless?
She snorted and said deliberately: "I don't like it."
Yuan Chen saw her talking nonsense and suddenly approached her and said: "It doesn't matter, if I can't win your heart, I can win your person.
When I marry you back, you will fall in love with me one day."
Xiao Jialan was startled. She looked at Yuan Chen and stammered: "You...you...you dare."
Yuan Chen chuckled, stretched out his hand and scratched her nose and said, "What a silly girl. It seems that in your heart I have really become a prodigal."
Xiao Jialan knew that he was teasing her. The Yuan Chen she knew had never been such a gentle person.
She said: "You are the prince of Beichen, it is impossible for you to marry a woman from Nanyue."
Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Just because of this, you don't dare to approach me?"
Xiao Jialan said: "This is reality. Beichen and Nanyue hate each other. If you marry me, you will be criticized by the world.
Once my identity is exposed, it will be in danger for you, and I don't want to implicate you."
Yuan Chen felt a dull feeling in his heart after listening to her words. He said: "These are not problems for me. I only ask you, do you like me?"
Xiao Jialan looked at him and finally listened to her inner thoughts and nodded: "I like it."
Yuan Chen smiled slightly: "That's enough."
He gently stroked the broken hair around Xiao Jialan's ears, looked at her with gentle eyes and said: "If your brother succeeds in seizing the throne, I will persuade my father to negotiate peace with Nanyue, and the marriage between the two countries will never cause war again.
If your brother is defeated, then you will marry me as the lady of the Duke's Palace, and I will protect your peace for the rest of your life, okay?"
Xiao Jialan looked at him, suddenly reached out and hugged him tightly and said, "Actually, I can also protect you."
Yuan Chen's heart seemed to melt when he heard these words. He gently patted her back and said, "I am a man, why do I need your protection?"
Xiao Jialan looked up at him and asked angrily: "You look down on me?"
"No."
Yuan Chen smiled and said: "Jialan, I'm very happy. Thank you for appearing in my life and giving me great joy."
Xiao Jialan looked at him, with stars shining in her eyes.
Yuan Chen leaned over to find her lips and kissed her again. The two of them were hiding behind the big stone, loving each other.
Until the sound of horse hooves came and someone called their names.
Xiao Jialan reacted and reached out to push him, saying anxiously: "Someone is coming."
Yuan Chen reluctantly let go of the man, and said in a resentful voice: "When I heard it, it was Mu Rufeng and your eldest brother, two disgusting ghosts with no eyes."
Xiao Jialan's lips twitched, but he made him laugh angrily and said, "They are also worried about you."
Yuan Chen corrected him: "Wrong, they are worried about you."
As he spoke, he straightened Xiao Jialan's bun, then lifted her up and asked, "Can you walk?"
Xiao Jialan nodded and heard Mu Rufeng's voice: "They are there."
Ye Jinming and Mu Rufeng walked over quickly, surrounded Xiao Jialan, looked her up and down and said, "Are you okay?"
